If you don't want that publicly available then feel free to email it privately to Matt and myself. FWIW, I have two Hauppauge cards (PVR350 card and a Nova-T-500 DVB-T card) in my Alpha, and have had no problems compiling the kernel, the ivtv modules, the DVB modules, and the IR modules. If we cannot track down what you are doing differently than the rest of us, then there is little chance we can help you. Cheers Michael.
